Yup, it's Grange Hill. 
I used to love watching this when I was at school, back in the '80s. (showing my age, here, lol)
Danny and Mr Bronson (and Zammo, not in the picture) were really iconic characters.
*hums the theme tune as she hands the baton to Stupot*

Being told that the expensive brand is by far the better... not in all cases, and supermarkets grind my gears...
Don't buy that for 99p buy this one, it's better at £1.50
I'd rather have this other one at 75p.

Been stuck in hospital for a few days. 
What grinds my gears, is the teeny, miserly 'portions' of margarine they give you with bread at breakfast in the mornings, is not enough for a slice of bread.
Gluten Free bread is smaller than normal bread, and the 'portion' of margarine is STILL not enough for 1 slice of bread.

What grinds my gears... is the lack of big, comfy chairs with cushions at the bus stop.

The game looks great.
Any chance of a DRM-free release that doesn't force people to use steam?

Brilliant entries, Kyria and Baron.
BEST CHARACTER: Mr Penny Fish from Punder The Sea. Great that he managed to turn things around, and get the upperhand on the greedy bank fish. ( :
BEST PLOT: Punder The Sea. The Underdogfish becomes the topdogfish.
BEST WRITING: The Stir. Love how he connects childhood-him to present-day-him.
BEST ATMOSPHERE: The Stir. I get the sense that the character feels like they're drowning, and disconnected from reality. But they're trying so hard to pull themselves back.
BEST USE OF TOPIC: Punder The Sea. I can really imagaine a bank meeting completely underwater... surrounded by coral and seaweed.

THE FOUNTAIN
A gigantic hand reaches down from above.
Fear and confusion reign below. Their peaceful life invaded. A single thought races through the collective consciousness… WHY? They've lived in this fountain in the dark cave for hundred of years. Why are they being invaded now???
The gigantic hand retracts, then almost immediately re-appears, along with another gigantic hand. The 2 hands form themselves into a kind of cup-shape. Seconds later, the hands vanish, and a slurping noise is heard high above.
Diolenia has been taken. So has Philia, Morelia, Halia, and Anithea. In one foul swoop, five of them has gone. The collective mourns their losses.
Sounds are heard from above. Strange sounds. The collective doesn't know what the sounds are.
*****
A group of explorers have taken shelter from a raging blizzard in the heart of an unknown land - freezing snow storms blow fiercely outside this cave, undiscovered by man… until now. Now, the cave is their sanctuary. One of the men takes of his gloves, dips his hand into the fountain, then scoops up some water in his hand to sip.
MAN 1: Ahhh, this water tastes good. Never expected to find anything like that, here.
MAN 2: Would you forget about the damn water! What we need to worry about, is that blasted snow storm outside.
MAN 1: Okay, okay! Let's make camp here for the night, then.
*****
The sounds from above seem to go on for hours. But eventually, things grow quiet, and the collective can relax.
Time passes. The collective doesn't know how long. But the strange noises from above start up again. The gigantic hand appears again. And this time, it's joined by many other gigantic hands. Prosymina, Okyrhoe, Savarna, Talula, Leuciphi, Oinoie, Semistrea and Meliphia are taken.
The Queen of the collective holds an emergency meeting.
QUEEN: My friends… we are under attack. Our world… is under attack. Why… I do not know. But these gigantic creatures are malevolent. They have taken many of us already. And I mourn for our lost friends.
IANTHE: But what can we do? What do they want? They've attacked us twice now!
QUEEN: Alas, I know not. Never has our world been under such threat before.
PHISYLEI: How can we protect ourselves? And our world?
QUEEN: … If you see them… swim away as fast as you can. Swim for your lives!
*****
MAN 3: Morning already? Gawd, I didn't get much sleep last night.
MAN 1: Me neither.
CRAAAAASSSSSSSHHHHHHH
MAN 4: What the HELL was that?
MAN 2: *looks towards the cave entrance* Um… hate to tell you guys, but the snow storm has just caused a block in.
MAN 5: Oh great! Just great! We're bloody trapped!
MAN 1: Well at least we won't go thirsty. We have a whole fountain full of water. *grins*
*****
The queen is worried. Worried about her people… worried about their home in this fountain… worried about the invasion. WHY are they being invaded? Are these gigantic creatures intent on destroying them all? She is approached by one of the collective.
CHAMINE: Your Highness. Maybe we could communicate with the invaders? Come to some kind of solution?
QUEEN: Indeed, a solution is what I seek. But how can we communicate with them?
CHAMINE: *hesitates*
QUEEN: Chamine?
CHAMINE: What about… the ancient ways? They say we used to be able to defend ourselves… by our very essence.
QUEEN: *thinks* Those ways have not been used for hundreds of years.
CHAMINE: I know. I just… I don't know what to do against an invasion such as this. But maybe we'll get lucky? Maybe they won't invade again.
QUEEN: I can only hope! But your advisement is much appreciated.
Time passes. Things have gone quiet above. The Queen desperately hopes the invaders have moved on. Her hopes are in vain. The gigantic hands suddenly re-appear, along with some strange object. The Queen sends a frantic thought through the collective consciousness.
QUEEN: My friends… if you are taken, you must invoke the ancient ways. It is drastic, I know, but it may be our only hope. But PLEASE… try to swim to safety.
*****
MAN 1: We're still trapped in this hell hole of a cave! Might as well put the water in this fountain to good use.
Man 1 takes out his water bottle, and fills it with water. Everyone else follows suit. Man 1 drinks the water, then refills his water bottle.
MAN 1: DAMN, this water is good!
*****
The invasion continues. The gigantic hands, and what must be the hands weapons infiltrate the collective. When the invasion finally ends, MANY of them have been taken. The Queen cries with grief and despair. She disliked giving the order to invoke the ancient ways, but she dislikes this invasion even more. She HAS to save the collective! HER collective!
*****
Man 1 drinks more water from his water bottle. Suddenly he turns pale, and drops his bottle.
MAN 5: Hahaha! Clumsy oaf!
MAN 1: *stands up* What did you call me?
MAN 5: I called you a clumsy oaf for dropping your flipping bottle. Why?
Man 1 grabs Man 5, and is about to punch him. But then he suddenly starts gasping for breath.
Man 4: Hey, you alright there, bud?
MAN 1: Can't… breathe… *gasps*
MAN 3: Maybe you should drink some more water. After all, you keep telling us how good it is.
Man 1 drops to the ground. His friends jump up, finally realising it's something serious.
MAN 2: *looks at Man 4* Well, you're the bloody doctor. Help him!
Man 4 kneels down next to Man 1. He opens Man 1's mouth, try to look inside his throat to see if there's anything blocking it. But there's nothing there. Man 1 is starting to lose conciseness. Man 4 rolls him over, and bangs on his back, trying to dislodge anything in the throat, even though he couldn't see anything.
Meanwhile, Man 5 takes a sip of water from his water bottle.
Man 1 has stopped breathing. Man 4 tries to resuscitate him. But fails. The men fall silent. They don't notice a trickle of water escaping from the dead man's mouth.
MAN 5: *looks at Man 1* He was a good ‘un. I'm gonna miss him.
Man 5 sits down by the fountain. He dips his hand in the water, as he thinks about his fallen comrade. How did he die?
*****
The gigantic hand appears again. Another attack! The Queen is frantic! She sends another thought racing through the collective consciousness.
QUEEN: We are being attacked again. These invaders will not stop! We HAVE to take drastic action! Invoke the ancient ways!
*****
Almost immediately, Man 5 starts coughing and choking. Everyone looks at him, alarmed.
MAN 3: What the hell…?
Man 4 rushes over, and looks his friend up and down. What's making him choke? How did this coughing fit come on so suddenly. Seconds later, Man 5 is gasping for breath. Again, Man 4 tries to clear his friend's airways of any blockages. But to no avail.
Man 4 kicks the wall of the well in frustration. Only then, does he notice Man 5's hand resting in the fountain.
MAN 4: *shouts* IT'S THE WATER! IT'S THE BLOODY WATER! THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE WATER THAT'S KILLING US!
As he turns towards his friends, a trickle of water escapes from Man 5's mouth.
MAN 3: Are you serious? You're seriously saying that we can't drink the water?
MAN 5: GODDAMIT YES! I'm saying don't drink the bloody water!
MAN 2: But we're trapped in this damn cave, and there‘s no other source of water! What are we gonna do?
MAN 5: I don't know, I'll think of something. But for god's sake, don't drink that bloody water!
*****
Time passes. A lot of time! There has been no more invasions, and none of the collective has been taken! The Queen finally begins to relax - it seems like the invaders have gone. She still mourns for those that were taken, but it seems like giving the order to invoke the ancient ways has saved them.
She doesn't know that 2 bodies lie above, their lungs filled with ancient water, and that 3 more men are close to dying of thirst.
Her collective is safe.

Angel, last season?
I knew this one would be easy.
But who was the better character - Illyria, or Fred?
I was really sad to see Fred die
but then I loved Illyria, who was completely different from Fred. 
Your turn.
